Myself and my house mate needed to find a dog friendly hotel/ B and B as we has to take one of our dogs to a nearby vet and it was too far to travel in one day. We decided to take our respective parents to give them a mini break at the same time. We found Sandra and Rob both welcoming, charming and made sure we had everything we needed. From the small personal touches of toiletries and plenty of fluffy warm towels to the extravagant hot tub experience just a few feet away from our rooms. The food Sandra prepared for us was outstanding and my Mum said her pudding was "heaven in a glass". The rooms were personalised, spacious, clean and beautifully decorated. Under what would have been stressful circumstances with our poorly pets were made easier with the home comforts found at the fir trees a must stay for anyone. Thank you Sandra and Rob , Nelly the dog misses her mate Snowy already x

We stayed here over Christmas and cannot recommend it enough. Sandra and Rob are super hosts and cannot do enough for you. The cooking is excellent and next time we will be going to one of Sandra's restaurant nights. The rooms were lovely. We got there very late on Christmas Eve due to delayed flights and when we got to room there was wine and fruit cake waiting for us. Thank you so much and we will see you again soon.

Room Tip: All rooms are lovely !!!!

I had the pleasure of staying at The Fir Trees over a few months (November thru January) while I worked on a project in the Bovingdon area. This lovely B&B is situated in a lovely country setting surrounded by woods and meadows. It is private, well set back from the main road (Hemel Hempstead Rd.) so that one passing by on the road has to look carefully not to pass the long wooded driveway and guests staying in never hear a hint of traffic noise. You arrive to a lovely main house with a courtyard and a row of cottages. I stayed in the Capri which provided plenty of room and storage space along with a lovely en-suite bath. The room has its own temperature control along with complete satellite television service and a high speed wireless connection. There is a kettle and a good collection of teas and coffee along with dishes and glassware provided in the room. The bedding is lush and comfortable and the room kept spotless! These are the physical qualities which are outstanding but nothing stands out more at The Fir Trees than the incredible level of service Sandra and Robert go out of their way to provide their guests. They are the perfect hosts and allow their guests the right combination of privacy and personal care. Working long and exhausting hours left me little time to handle personal chores like laundry. Sandra sorted this and any other issues I came across effortlessly and with a smile. Sandra is a wonderful cook and was often at my door with a late night meal or snack and glass of wine when I came in late from work. She and Rob invited me into their home for dinner parties with friends and other guests. In short, The Fir Trees became very much a home away from home and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a lovely place to stay in Hertfordshire. I look forward to my next visit!

Stayed at Fir Trees one night while visiting friends in the area. Wished we could have stayed longer! Very warm welcome, spotless room with everything we could possibly need. Delicious breakfast. Would definitely like to stay again and sample one of Sandra's evening meals.

Fancy us not giving this wonderful B and B a review before now?? Well, we don't give reviews and it is ages since Val and I stayed there. We actually lost the business card but now it is found and I can tell all and sundry that, being rather particular (and world travellers) we can now tell all this home is fantastic in every way. Must visit the area again simply to stay at the Fir Trees. Just two criticisms....They don't charge enough and the idiot bureaucratic council person who gave them a miserly four out of five is an idiot. It is wonderful and not to be missed. Thanks both for a wonderful stay.

I spent one week in December at this wonderful b&b. This was my first experience staying in a bed and breakfast. My room was in the main house. It was clean and comfy, same with the bathrooms. It really was like a home away from home. The food was awesome, and Sandra always greeted me with a glass of wine when I returned at night.

All around it was a very lovely experience and I plan to return with my partner as soon as I can!

We are from Australia travelling this December, came across this wonderful place " Fir Trees"Well, Rob giving us directions to this absolute delightful hideaway, then to meet with such warmth from Sandra, both made us feel so welcome. The room was beautiful, lovely quality linen, comfy bed, beautiful decor throughout, and very personal touches, as well, very luxurious. Evening dinner made personally from Sandra was scrumptious, plenty of it, and what a wonderful hostess, the time flew by enjoying it all. We slept like babies, as it is so quite, surrounded by forest area and nature, a real bonus for anyone. We would recommend this delightful place to anyone to stay, the best thing we can say overall is the hosts, and Sandra is a real gem, she is what,s this place is so gorgeous, a truly lovely person that gives you warmth, and makes you feel so welcome. We will definitely love to return for another stay.

Room Tip: Everyone is excellent
